Bow Tension Cylinder - A207 E-Class
There are two options for placing your order:
1. (Most affordable) You send in your leaking cylinder, and Top Hydraulics rebuilds it.
- Top Hydraulics replaces & upgrades ALL seals in your cylinder with our superior proprietary material including rod seals, gland seals, port seals, plug seals and piston seals. Top Hydraulics' u-cup seals have a far more reliable seal and much longer service life.
OR
2. (Fastest) Core Exchange Option where Top Hydraulics ships parts from our inventory first ($180 plus a $120 deposit).
- Option 2 means that you get a rebuilt & upgraded cylinder from Top Hydraulics' inventory first, then you ship back your original part for credit of your $120 core refund. You get a cylinder that has been rebuilt to outlast and outperform OEM replacements.

Rebuild & upgrade service for Mercedes A207 E-Class
Fabric Bow Tension Cylinder
Mercedes part number 2098000972A pair of these cylinders raises and lowers the rear bow (rear of the soft top with the glass in it). They tend to leak first on the bottom, where the mounting pin goes through the housing.
Top Hydraulics makes these parts better than new inside, with seven new, superior seals and reinforcement against the occasional "explosion" known to happen on OEM cylinders' bottoms. There is a lot of precision machining involved, new CNC-machined glands to accommodate the improved rod seals, and Top Hydraulics' signature wiper seal, which keeps dirt and water from entering the gland. Comes with new O-rings to put on the hoses when you install the cylinders, and an illustration on how exactly to install the O-rings.
You send in your cylinder for rebuild first (then we rebuild it, then we ship it back to you), or you pick the up-front shipping option (aka core exchange) which adds $30 surcharge plus $120 refundable deposit. Core exchange means we send the parts first from our inventory, then you send back your cores (original cylinders) to recover the core deposit. The deposit gets refunded in full to the original payment method once we receive a matching core without serious damage to the metal parts.
